The Taoist Priest and the Priest [White on the Outside, Black on the Inside]

[Devoted Love] [Sweet Romance] A strange illness has appeared in the city. Those afflicted develop large white spots on their necks, and when the spots are cut open with a small knife, thick black fluid oozes out. Panic grips the city. Taoist priests are called in to ward off evil. Nanchang Temple is run-down. Zhao Ge, a steady-handed Taoist priestess there, quietly draws talismans with her brush, but she is far too taciturn. The Christian church is packed with worshippers. Its youngest priest is only nineteen, dressed all in black with a cross dangling from his wrist. His smile is captivating. At exorcism rites, one side is often drawing talismans while the other sprinkles holy water. Zhao Ge discovers that she keeps running into the young priest from the church across the street. She could put up with him poaching her clients, but now he has even come into her temple to have his fortune told. "What kind of fortune do you want told?" Zhao Ge asks, her tone cool as she looks at the boy in front of her. "A love fortune," the priest says with a smile. "A fortune about you and me." Zhao Ge dismisses it as a joke, only to later discover that the priest across the street is the boy who struggled alongside her in the darkness when they were children. Back then, she wasn't so rigid, and she smiled often. She once told the trembling boy in her arms with a smile, "Don't be afraid. Big Sis will protect you." - Beyond the dazzling daylight lies endless night. The night wraps them together, then lifts them back into the grand light of day. - Taciturn, clear-eyed Taoist priestess X sweet-looking, secretly dark priest. Secret crush X healing. Mystery X exorcism. An exceptionally sweet romance. An entirely fictional setting, with the smooth vibes of electronic R&B and reggae. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ★★My next book, We Don't Know Each Other, is coming soon.

When she first debuted, everyone called her the star of tomorrow. Six years after her debut, she was forced to terminate her contract with her company. She went abroad for three years of intensive training, and when she returned to compete on a talent show, the internet was full of people betting against her. She had been the one betrayed, but the marketing and PR turned her into everyone's target, and rumors kept spreading. In the show's isolated setting, she never looked at her phone. She only wanted to sing her own songs well and give the best performance she could. Three years away, she had kept her talents sheathed and bided her time. She stood onstage and proved herself with her skills. "I came here to take first place." There were two frontrunners for the talent show's championship. Besides her, there was Xie Shen from a rival company. The two seemed like oil and water. The production crew trained their cameras on them, hoping to capture their tense rivalry. Instead, they noticed Xie Shen often had his eyes fixed on Cen Xing, and would occasionally smile along with her. Confused, the marketing accounts who thought the two didn't know each other arranged an interview, suspecting it was just a misleading camera angle. "We really don't know each other," Cen Xing said. "I saw him around school a few times while training abroad." After the interview, Xie Shen walked up to her. In a corner without cameras, he said, "We really don't know each other. I just had a crush on you for years." #What you call not knowing each other is just the careful steps you take while chasing the light #In a corner no one notices, someone's ears slowly turn red Sweet romance X unconventional talent show X mutual pining.
